Retro Douche: Tommy from The Power Rangers

Hey DB1,
I was flipping through the movie channels to other day with some friends and spotted the old Power Rangers movie. We were having a good time and laughing at quite possibly the worst dialogue since Spike Lee thought he could act. Then it hit me. The white ranger Tommy, the one who’s clearly banging Kimberly, is a total douchebag. He’s usually got some kind of bling that was awful even for the 90s, not to mention the slicked back shiny hair. When you look at the hard evidence, you might think he’s a low level ‘bag, but you just can’t ignore that smug little face. He thinks he’s the coolest sh!@t, but the worst thing is that when I was a kid I thought he was the coolest sh!@t too.
Maybe if I’m lucky Kimberly will help me repent my old admiration for a total bag. She can dress up for me any day and the screaming karate is always a plus.

Good call, AE. But if we’re doing douches from 1990s children’s TV, my money’s still on that creepy Nordic Himmler baby in the sun from the Teletubbies. There’s no doubt that kid’ll be slicking up his hair and making gang signs for his senior high school photo in 17 years.
